About me
I am an Associate Researcher at East China Normal University (School of Computer Science and Technology). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Application Technology from Fudan University (2019.09–2024.06), advised by Prof. Yu-Gang Jiang and Prof. Jingjing Chen.
My research interest is focused on Vision-Language Learning, especially Visual Question Answering. In addition, i also delve into some autonoumous driving related topics, such as 3D object detection, lane detection, stereo depth estimation.
